13. Mykel

"I don't know, it will depend, so are you ready?" am I ready for this? I am ready to know the person who is beside me? For sure I don't know but it can't hurt to not know right? I nodded my head and he smiled like I have done a good deed. "Then help me cook" he said and I looked at him surprised. Help him cook? To watch me make a fool at myself. What kind of game is he playing with me? I removed my apron and scoffed.

"Are you kidding me Mykel?" I snapped and left the room, this time I left. What does he take me for? I may want to know who the hell he is? But he have no right to make fun of me. Does he think everything is a joke to him? Pervert!! I sighed once I reached the living room and met with Ana who was eating a watermelon while Alexa was tapping her phone like someone had killed her cat with her legs folded like a monk.

Xander and what was his name again Ray yeah Ray weren't anywhere but I saw someone else, he had this long chessnut hair and he had tied it into a pony leaving a few strands of hair on his face, a red t-shirt and a white rugged trouser, he was sitting beside Ana but he was concentrated on the screen in front of him. He looked a little younger like my brother's age I can say that. Ana saw me first and called my name, Alexa and pony guy looked at me. Is there any other person I don't know is in this house? But let's say he looks so handsome seems like this house is filled with handsome guys and nobody is telling me about anything.

"Who is he?" I asked no one looking at him

"Aiden, nice meeting you Denise, Ana has told me a lot about you" he said smiling that made me remember someone who I just left at the kitchen. What am I saying?

'I can see that' I murmured "is there any other person I might want to know? And what the hell is going on?" I snapped and all looked at me surprised

"Are you okay Denise?" Alexa asked and before I knew it I felt wet tears flowing down my cheeks but wiped them immediately before they could notice

"Am fine. I just have to call my brother" I said as I took my phone and left outside to give my brother a call. The sky was clear as the stars had already started to come out. It night already? I tried to call my brother but he wasn't picking up. I tried my younger brother's phone but he wasn't taking it. Where the hell are they when I need them? Shit!! Not every day you find people in your house saying that they are your family's friend and you got no idea of what is going on.

I sighed as I left to my grandparent's room, and there no way am going to let him sleep in there. I passed my friends and walked to the room ignoring their call and took the stairs. I guess all I need is a good shower and everything will be fine.

I breathed happily as I laid on the huge bed spreading my hands apart with my eyes closed and thought of the happy memories I had when I was living here. And how I played inside this room with my brother and grandma and wait Mykel! I snapped my eyes wide open as it drawn to me. Oh shit! Why didn't I think of this? This is so stupid, but why didn't he just say so? But they can be different people right? No! No, this can't be happening. Am so embarrassed, how am I going to face him now?

Mykel is my childhood friend, even before I met Alexa and Ana, while I was staying here. He lived with us for a while before his parent moved to New York. He was my best friend even though he was two years older and it hurt when he left, I had cried for days saying that I wanted to go with him but all in all it didn't happen. What if he is Mykel, my childhood friend whom left sixteen years ago? How would I have forgotten about him? Am sure he would feel so terrible that I don't remember him after all those years we promised that we won't forget about each other. But if the Mykel down stairs is him and how I snapped back there at him? Gosh this is crazy! so damn embarrassing! But you can't tell it may be he is someone else. But how can they have the same names. I heard a knock and my heart raced in million miles. What am I going to say to him? How am I even going to face him?

"Denise! It me Alexa, Mykel asked me to call you for dinner" she said and I felt like crying. What if he is the one? How on earth am I going to say to him? "Denise!" she called again.

"Am coming in a second" I yelled as I took some clothes to wear before going down stairs. My mind was in chaos. What am I going to do? Am I going to ask for forgiveness or just ignore it? I have to confirm first with my brother before I do something I will regret. I changed to my white lace dress and walked out of the room after breathing in and out five times but I still can't stop my heart from racing.
